Carmen and Raquel, multimillionaire and beautiful twins, decide to explore beyond the confines of the Republique de Sacre CAur, a mythical South American country, whose major export is COCAINE! Their wealth derives from its illegal distribution. Marcelino, their father, unwittingly acts as courier for a cartel, secreting into the country a good portion of the profits harvested abroad. His secret and unique M. O. is accidentally revealed to Marcel, an international police agent who decides to relieve the twinsa father of some of his millions. Marcelas boundless greed propels him to scheme criminal plans that include kidnapping and/or trickery, assisted by Brigitte, his wife, and Rolando, a renegade. Once his first stratagem fails, Marcel contrives a strategy to marry the surviving twin. He succeeds but his avarice finally receives its due reward. hr Customer Reviews from Amazon.com Great writing, January 10, 2006 Reviewer: pollyanna qpollyq (Florida) I had the good fortune of having received Florida, mon amour!as a Christmas gift.I was at once intrigued by its peculiar title.
